New Trainers for 2015!
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide top-quality training to our business community, in 2015 we will have several new trainers coming on board with the Larimer SBDC. Here’s who we have joining our team:
Don’s extensive knowledge of sales and training techniques will be put to use in several sales classes throughout 2015, the first of which is No Guts, No Gain! coming up on February 12th. Make sure to sign up and learn how you can take the sales team for your business to the next level!
Linda’s experience in banking and accounting will be put to use in our upcoming Basics of Bookkeeping class. Her passion to help small businesses with their accounting and office organization needs is a perfect fit for this class that will help you get organized and gain a firmer grasp on your small business bookkeeping needs.
If you’re looking to add video marketing to your company’s marketing plan, Logan will be leading a must-attend class for you! As owner of V3 Media Marketing, he has learned what it takes to be successful with video marketing. Attend Video Marketing for Business on February 24th and walk away with your first short video for your business, along with the knowledge of how to create and edit effective business videos.
In summer 2015, keep your eyes open for our annual Summer Series that will feature special, one-time trainings from other unique, engaging speakers from throughout the community. Sign up for our newsletter to stay in-the-know on our upcoming classes and special events, as well as helpful reminders for business owners.
Here’s to a successful 2015!
In February of 2014, she hit the reset button and took another running start at business ownership by registering August Ink, selling custom screen printed t-shirts online. Her reasoning for the product shift was, “Pillow covers are fun, but everyone loves t-shirts.” The SBDC was helpful for her to have accountability and a consultant to bounce ideas off of. “The SBDC helps put my business into a framework. I understand why I should make the decisions I do for my business, and working with my consultant helps me set goals.”
For now, her business is based out of her home studio, where she handles everything from design to printing to shipping, but Andrea is excited for what the future will bring for her business. She is especially excited about the possibility of opening a retail store front to contribute to the vibrant Fort Collins business community, as well as hiring her first employees. “It’s an exciting time for women and entrepreneurs. You’ve got to make your own way, and when you do, you can do awesome things!”
